This episode features a conversation with Janine Whitken, Principal Project Manager from the environmental and engineering firm WSP that is working with EDF Renewables on the Homer Solar Project in the towns of Homer, Cortlandville, and Solon in Cortland County. Janine will talk about the role that firms like WSP play in the siting and construction of large-scale renewable energy projects, the different types of environmental studies that they have been conducting for the project, the agencies and organizations that they partner with, and other ways that they work with renewable energy developers to avoid and mitigate environmental impacts while navigating complex state and federal regulations.
